Patent GB-190503389-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Ships' Side Lights or Scuttles.
Inventor: MORRISON JOHN DONALD
Filed: 1905-02-18
Granted: 1905-09-21
Abstract: 3389. Morrison, J. D. Feb. 18. Hinges.-In order to secure a cabin light in a partially-opened position, the hinge i s provided with a snap-headed bolt E, the central portion e of which is square and fits a corresponding hole in the bracket C. The bolt is thus prevented from rotating, and the underside of the head is serrated to fit similar serrations on the lug B. When the light is opened to the desired position, the nut E<2> is tightened up and the light secured. In a modification, a rubber or leather washer is inserted between the bolt head and the lug B. A further modification consists in making the bolt head flat-beaded, and securing a spring plate upon it, which bears on a pin sliding in the head and engaging recesses in the lug B.

Title: Improvements relating to the Distillation and Oxidation of Wood Tars and Resin Oils
Inventor: NOERDLINGER HUGO
Filed: 1905-09-15
Granted: 1906-04-26
Abstract: 8590. Noerdlinger, H. Sept. 15. Distilling tar; pitch.-Wood tars and resin oils are distilled at a low temperature with the aid of a current of air, oxygen, or ozonized air until a residue is obtained which is soluble in dilute alkali. Beechwood and birchwood tars, for instance, when treated at 120‹-150‹ C., yield a residual brittle pitch of an acid character, and a distillate which resolves into an oily and an aqueous layer, the latter resembling pyroligneous acid. The residual products thus obtained are suitable for use in the manufacture of antiseptic soaps, washes for cattle, varnishes, siccatives, &c.

Granted: 1906-04-26
Abstract: 12,231. Barnett, R. E. June 13. No Patent granted (sealingfee not paid). Tools; tool-holders.-Tools for enlarging holes by internal turning consist of grooved bars combined with holders. The groove extends a short distance from the end to allow for regrinding without seriously affecting the rigidity, and may be parallel or spiral according to the cutting-angle for the material to be removed. In the form shown in Figs. 1 and 3, the groove is of such a section as to give a straight cutting-edge a b, and the end of the tool is helical. The tool-end may be ground off along the line k-l, when turning in blind holes. Fig. 4 illustrates the method of mounting the tool with regard to the axis of the work, and shows a tool having cutting-edges of different diameters. Figs. 8 and 9 show end views of two forms of suitable holders for the combination. In addition, the tool and holder may be screw-threaded. With tools of small diameter, the bar may cone out to a larger diameter at a short distance from. the cutting - end. Specification No. 12,793, A.D. 1892, is referred to.

Granted: 1907-02-21
Abstract: 22,690. Gelpke, V., and Kugel, P. Oct. 13. Elastic-fluid turbines.-Relates to the setting and fixing of blades in turbines, turbine fans, &c. Two or more strips b<1>, b<2>, Figs. 1 and 9, are perforated to accommodate the roots of the blades a. The blades are secured in position by blocks d, which engage cot-away parts of the blade roots, or by any suitable means. Instead of the 'strips b<1>, b<2> being made in the form of continuous rings, they may be formed as filling-pieces, one piece being placed between two adjacent blades at the top of the root and another at the bottom. In a modification, the rings b<1>, b<2> are made of angular sections so as to engage the blocks d more securely. In another modification, the lower ring b<1> is replaced by two copper rings which are pressed by the blocks d against the roots of the blades. In a further modification, the blade roots are made with studs which engage with the drum, the ring b<1> again being dispensed with. One spacing-ring only need be used if the blades are prolonged so far toward the centre of the drum that their roots abut against each other. The blocks d may be made integrally with the disks in that type of turbine in which the rotor consists of a number of parallel bladed disks. The outer ends of the vanes may be joined together and fitted with shrouds in a manner similar to that described above. The invention is also applicable to guides.

Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Igniting Miners Safety Lamps especially suitable for use in the Underground Workings of Mines and in the like places.
Inventor: HAILWOOD ERNEST ARTHUR
Filed: 1907-05-28
Granted: 1908-05-14
Abstract: 12,274. Hailwood, E. A. May 28. Miners' safety lamps.-Electric means for lighting miners' lamps of the kind described in Specifications No. 21,009, A.D. 1905, and No. 25,258, A.D. 1906, is constructed so that, when the enclosing box is shut, the lighting may be effected by a push ; the push, or an aperture for receiving it, is arranged on or in a revolving or sliding door or chamber, or the retaining flanges of the same. In the form shown in Fig. 1, the accumulator and induction coil are contained in a case A, above which is fitted a case B provided with an aperture B<1> through which the lamp is introduced. A rotary cover E is then rotated to close the case B ; when it is in the closed position, an aperture E<3> in the cover alines with an aperture F<1> in a flanged ring F, which keeps the cover in position and forms a guide for it. A push P can then be moved against a primary contact P<1>, and the circuit is thus closed and the lamp lit. The secondary circuit is connected to the lamp by means of an insulated contact D<1>, and a ring on the case B, the base D on which the lamp rests being insulated. A spring push with a projecting knob as P<x>, Fig. 4, may replace the push P. In a modification, Fig. 6, the circuit is adapted not to be closed unless the lamp is in position, and the contacts are in this case protected from interference by a casing H. The push P<x> is pushed through an aperture J, Figs. 4 and 6, in the case B, when this is closed, and a contact P<3>, Fig. 6, acted on by a spring S is moved into contact with the lamp. The resistance of the lamp allows the spring S to be overcome, and contacts P<2>, P<1> to come together; the metal head M<1> of the contact P<1> is thus moved and causes a primary contact to contact with it instead of with the insulated head M, and the circuit is thus completed. The switch moves in a case K part of which is insulated. In further modifications, the switch is arranged in the top of the cover E which is higher than the lamp chamber, a sliding door is arranged to uncover a push or push aperture, this form being similar to that described in Specification No. 21,009, A.D. 1905. The electric arrangements may be modified. The apparatus is provided with an obervation glass such as a thick glass 0, Fig. 4, secured by an angle ring O<1> and studs O<2>, and an automatic spring locking-device is also provided, having a screwed end adapted to be gripped by the releasing-key.
